I don't care for the stripe, the berger mod and the wheels. The stripe is no for me since there's no reason for it to be there, meaning, no highlighted body line or anything. The berger mod looks like crap on every single car its on. To me it looks like someone was too cheap to paint a replacement body panel, and no one else knows wtf its for anyway. The wheels I hate because they are ugly even on mustangs. To me they among the worst wheels made for these cars (drag wheels excluded) and just look cheap. Buy a set of TT2s and paint them up the same way and it will look MUCH better.
You're car but you asked for opinions and you know what they say..

I appreciate the honesty. But since the same color thats on the berger panel is the silver stripe on the side, I dont think it looks outta place. It flows... I wanted a different color panel, but didnt want a sudden break at the body panel, so I came up with the stripe! And these wheels are like El Caminos... Love em or hate em! I for 1, love em! And for the record, a body line is the worst place to put a stripe. Its the thinnest point in the paint already, put a break on it, and theres not too much there for color sanding and buffing!

I like it its unique but i would tint the tails but leave the reverse part clear i think that would be cool! Not a fan of the pins either! Lets see better pictures!!

I agree with that. Just from what I can see if you either make the amber red or use nightshade on everything but the reverse it would look good and you wouldn't have 5 colors on your rear. It would look cleaner.

looks good and the stripes in the back are different. black out the tail lights and it will look awesome. You could buy that cheap tint for the tail lights on ebay and if you dont like it you can just peel it off.

No problem. I didn't want to come out and say it looks like crap but wanted to put the opinion out there. Yours is probably the best berger mod-ish design I have seen since it carries over. Its just that the stripe follows no real pattern, its just kinda there.
What i mean by body line is more like what you did on the hood. That looks good because the stripe has a reason to look like that. Sort of the same principle as the hockey stripes on these cars. They just don't look right because they don't follow the angles that the car has.
And you are right about the wheels. I just so far haven't seen a car that I don't think would look better with TT2s instead. Its something about the stepped lip I think that changes the way the car looks. That's not to say a flat lip doesn't work, it just needs a different style spoke than the TTM has.
Good job either way, at least your car has paint on it right now. Mine doesn't.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm returning home tomorrow morning and I pull it out of the garage and get some more pics! Also, I'm thinking about going to stock headlights again... Any interest in a swap for some stockers???
